    Notes:

    Lemuel attended rural schools, but was largely self-educated, having constantly augmented his knowledge by reading, experience and observation. He was a young man of about thirty with a wife and several children when in 1904 he was admitted to the bar at Gainesville, Texas. He began the practice of law at Ada (Oklahoma) then Indian Territory.

    He served by appointment as Master of Chancery of the Federal Court during the years 1906 and 1907, and enjoyed the distinction of being the only Democrat to hold a Federal office during a Republican administration in Pontotoc Co. in the Indian Territory.

    In 1907, following his resignation, he located in Wise Co., Texas where he was elected County Attorney in 1908, and served four years.

    In 1921, he came to Haskell to take over the law practice of the late H.G. McConnel, a pioneer West Texas attorney, with his won, Dennis P. Ratliff, and here he lived and practiced law until ill health compelled him to retire prior to his death.

    Lemuel was a member of the Christian Church.
